She will lead on employee engagement programs, internal communications, and support on the renewal of various talent management processes to enhance OMG’s employee offering.
Alanna has been part of OMG MENA for over 11 years, initially spending the first five years at OMD as a digital media planner, before moving into a 360 holistic planning position.
